I woke up early and drove down to the Jordan River Park Trail at 123rd south parking lot. I ran the Riverton half marathon course and then added 3 extra miles. I then went to a 5k race that my sis in law was putting on. Last year I wasnt really training and they had a couple of UVU runners that showed up and beat me. I was ready for them this year. lol I started out the race and there wasnt anyone that was even near me after the first .5 miles. I got to mile one and hit a 5:25, mile two was 5:48, mile two to three had all head wind with a guy on a scooter that exhaust was going right into my face. I had to yell to him to go behind me. Good garbage! lol I won the race and then went over and lined up with Bailey my 10 year old and Boston my 2 year old for the kids mile. Bailey told me she wanted to beat 6:20 on the mile which is her 17 year old sisters PR. lol I said ok! We took off and like all kids they started sprinting and I told Bailey not to follow them. We got to the .25 mark in 1:28. Pretty good! I started to notice her fade a little so I told her to concentrate on pumping her arms more. We hit the .50 turn around at 3:02. On our way back I saw little Boston running with his little legs just a cruising! So funny to watch! Bailey started fading a bit more and complaining to me so I told her to try to lift her knees up more as she ran and pump her arms. Funny how you tell them stuff like that and it instantly keeps their mind off. We got to the finish and she hit 6:22! Way to go Bay! She won the kids mile and Boston won the 2-4 age group! Thats a pretty good day for my running kids! I won a Turkey so know my Sunday dinners are starting to shape up! :) Fun day to get a long run in with tempo and watch my offspring dominate. lol Im not bragging.

Are your kids running the Thanksgiving point race? I hope not, or my kids in trouble.

Nice race, fun day.
